MADE A BIGAm1sr Rx LAW.
The Awkward Situation in Which Mr
 Carpenter Has Placed Himself.

1PcAbcI 11dB EAaCeO E41mBc1ks
 PROVIDENCE, July 24-In the Supreme court yesterday morning the petition of Jen- nie E. Carpenter that decree of divorce granted in her favor last December be de. clared null and void was heard and granted, the court taking the case after the testimony without argument and at once declaring the divorce decree to be vacated. It was shown that the husband, Amos F. Carpenter, had got his wife to sign what she was given to believe was a paper agreeing not to interfere with his wages. It proved to be a petition for divorce. alleging desertion and failure to support for five years, and it was shown that the husband furnished the witnesses, who were paid by him and perjured themselves, and secured the lawyers who represented the alleged petitioner. Mrs. Carpenter told the court that she had never been deserted and never wanted to be divorced, and knew noth- ing of the petition until last June. Since the proceedings began Carpenter has married again.

A Pleasant Announcement at Sacred Heart Church Yesterday-The Need. ed EnlarCenent of fIa EdI6ce.

The Rev. Father McKeon, of the Sacred Heart parish, informed his congregation at the 10:30 o'clock mass yesterday morning that the last cent of the debt on the church had been paid off. Father McKeon has been in the pastorate of Sacred Heart church only a year and half, but in that time, by en- ergetic work and careful management, has succeeded in cancelling the debt of $1s,000 which encountered the church property when he first took hold of it. The reverend gen. tleman has reason to be proud of his success, and yesterday received the congratulations and thanks of hundreds of grati6ed parish toners.
 Now that there are no more mortgages to be attended to, Father McKeon expects at an early date to begin the erection of a large ex- tension to the church, and plans looking to this end are now under contemplation.

WHAT GAS COSTS.
1t Can lie Furnished for a Dollar

II Can lie Furnished for Dollar u
Thousand Feet.
Citizens Association No. held meet
ing last night to hear the report OF Professor
Fristoe, chairman of the Committee on
Light, concerning his inquiries into the cost
and quality Of the gas furnished by the
Washington Gaslight Company. He stated
that he had learned from officers OF the
company that coal gas cost about SO cents
per 1000 cubic feet, and the cost Of dis.
tributing 1t was about As cents for the same
quantity. He said 1t appeared to him that
gas could be furnished at $l,25 and still
leave profit to the company.
This statement, he said, had reference to
coal gas, while, as an actual fact, the gas
companies decrease the cost OF the gas
furnished from this figure by the use OF
water gas made from petroleum. This
water gas, he said, was manufactured 10
Baltimore for ten cents per 1000 feet and
was furnished to the citizens at fifty cents.
In this city the cost Of producing the water
gas is slightly greater. He said that the
Washington Gasllght Company uses one
third water gas, and the actual cost OF the
gas now used does not exceed eighty cents
per 1000 cubic feet. He believes, from
what he learned, that gas can be furnished
at 81 per | 900 cubic feet.

A NOTABLE CHARACTER.
The Familiar Figure of Admiral de
Rohsn on the Avenue Again.

hOhhn ON tne avenue hEtins
The familiar figure and features of
Admiral de Rohan, formerly resident
and well known In Washington, are
again seen on the Avenue after an
absence for the past ten years in
Europe.
The Admiral has had very evcntful
life. His father, Swedish noble,
came TO this country many years ago.
Early In the forties his son, the subject
OF this sketch, left his his native country
and went to England and entered the
English navy. After some years
service, while cruising his ship fell In
with Chillan man Of war which was
short OF officers. De Rohan was
allowed to volunteer. and then became
an officer In the Gillian navy-a post
he held for some years On the break
ing out OF the Italian revolution under
Garibaldi he became admiral OF the
insurgent navy, but was also In the
thick OF the fighting ashore. The
old Morse blood OF his auces
tors would not allow him to
be Inactive where there was any chance
of fight. Several foreign officers
who served In our late war were under
his command In Italy. That war over
he returned to his farm on the Island
OF jersey, but the outbreak of the
Franco Prussian war found him again
In the field on the side OF France--end'
ing with the siege Of Paris. After Its
downfall he returned TO his native
country and resided In this city for five
or six years, when he had to roam again
to Europe, visiting his old resorts In
Italy, France and England with re.
newed pleasure. He returned last
spring and has been spending the sum
mer In the country.
